Low volume with headphones - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

I'm having very low volume even at max when listening to music with headphones. Are you experiencing the same?

I haven't had this issue.

what music app are you using? try the stock app with SRS WOWHD in equalizer.

try to play a song first, then hit the menu button, you won't see the settings in playlists.

No luck for me. I have installed the Honeycomb Music app and removed the Froyo app. This one doesn't have much at all in settings. Anyone else?
Also my loud speaker and phone speaker are simply not loud enough. Any noise at all nearby and I cannot hear the caller talking. Do you think there will be fixes for this?

I suggest to get the stock Music app back, your will be surprised by the SRS WOWHD equalizer with a good earplug

Try experimenting with the values in /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg. I haven't tried modifying this as I don't have an issue but I'm sure it's what you're looking for. It only has values for wired headset and speaker though, so whether speaker is both earpiece and loudspeaker or just loudspeaker I don't know. Give it a go and post your results.

@stockwell
You are right.
You have to increase the value "wired_headset". I changed mine from 60 to 70 and now it works prefectly with my on-ear headset. A bit too loud at max though.
If you need assistance feel free to ask ;-)

@AliWam- Please give instructions. Will be appreciated.

Hi !
Do i need to root my phone to change the value to 65 or above?
I cant save the changes because the mapp is write protected

Hey,
I'm sorry for the late reply, quite busy these days.
I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
1. You need a rooted device (e.g. z4root), Busybox[1] installed and a text editor (e.g. Text Editor from Market).
2. Open /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg in the text editor, replace the value(s) as you like and save it as a new file e.g. /mnt/sdcard/myVol.cfg. The file might look like this:
Code:
speaker=80
wired_headset=70
3. Remount the related partition writeable:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
4. Copy your new file and replace the old system file:
Code:
cp /mnt/sdcard/myVol.cfg /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg
5. Reboot your phone and then the new values should be applied.
------
[1]I'm not sure if you really need Busybox installed for these steps.

no sdk
To change the volume without the SDK (not use console command).
- install on your computer AndroidCommander
- in the phone menu choose the "applications / developer / debugging usb"
- connect phone to a PC
- run AndroidCommander on your computer.
- find / system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg in AndroidCommander (right panel is a telephone system files)
- copy the file "VolumeFactor.cfg" to your computer and change values
- in the left window AndroidCommander find the edited file and move (copy) to "/ system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg" on the window phone.
- disconnect the phone and restart
In this way you can change other files, but be careful .

Guys, i try all this even tho my phone is rooted when i paste my new file says its read only and when i try at android commander it says not rooted even tho it is i checked with root checker !!
any ideas ?

I had no success changing the values in the file / system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg using "es explorer" so upon advice in another thread I bought Root Explorer in the Market and it works. Once you are in the etc folder press the Mount R/W button and then you can edit the .cfg file by longpressing on it. It will auto create a backup. I increased my values to 99 and 70.
I also found from a poster here that the stock music player has an equalizer that you only see once you select a track to play. The default setting is very quiet but the SRS WOWHD is much better. Happy listening

Sorry for my silliness in advance guys. I can't make Android Commander work. It says "device not found". Have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Make sure you have debugging enabled on the phone:
Go to settings > applications > development
Then enable USB debugging.

Thanks for the quick response. I do have usb debugging enabled. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong whatsoever. Any other ideas?

Computer:
Is the SDK installed and did you set your path variables?
Have you installed the ADB driver for the phone?
Phone:
Do you have busybox?
Root?

Actually make your speaker sound good!

Update -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13493012#post13493012
I found a way to make your crappy desire hd speaker actually sound acceptable!
Works best on sense roms but you can use it for any others too;
1. download a program called 'gscript lite' from the market
2. once you've done that open the program and add a script
3. Name it whatever you want and the script you enter is
a) For sense rom - 'snd3254 -dspmode 07' = For better speaker quality and 'snd3254 -dspmode 11' for better headset quality
b) For Cm7 and MIUI - 'snd3254 -dspmode 04' = For better speaker and 'snd3254 -dspmode 08' for better headset
4. now run the script and BAM speaker sounds louder, deeper and... better =D
Sound table: (for those who want to experiment)
'snd3254 -dspmode xx'
01. Original_Phone_Rec
02. Original_Phone_Spk
03. Original_Phone
04. Original_Spk
05. Dolby_a_spk
06. Dolby_a_hp
07. Dolby_v_spk
08. Dolby_v_hp
09. Srs_a_hp
10. Srs _a_spk
11. Srs_v_hp
12. Srs_v_spk
13. Bass Booster
14. Blues
15. Classical
16. Country
17. Jazz
18. Latin
19. New Age
20. Piano
21. Pop
22. R&B
23. Rock
24. Treble Booster
25. Vocal Booster
- Keep in mind the above table is for sense GB Roms
- hp = Headphones spk = speakers
- 13 - 25 only applies to Headphones
- Replace xx with a number from the table
- If you are on MIUI or cm refer to - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12345725&postcount=2798
WORKAROUND FOR FROYO: (Roms like ARHD 3.x)
Download a program from the market called 'terminal emulator' and run it
then type in the following script
'su
snd3254 -dspmode xx'
Su on the first line to enable superuser permissions -> enter -> then type in the script
Optional
You can create script shortcuts on your homescreen by selecting -> shortcuts -> gscript lite -> then whatever you named your script
And if you want to enable the script for better speaker quality on boot you can do so by going into the gscript application -> press and hold the script you want on boot -> save to sd -> download a program from the market called 'script manager' -> go to the folder sdcard/gscript -> select the saved script -> open as 'script' -> then tick the boxes 'run as root' and 'run at boot' -> save it and close the app and your selected script will run at boot!
Let me know if this makes your speakers better in anyway =D
(oh and if you select 'dolby' when playing music in sense through the speaker then run the sense speaker script it sounds really good... just a tip )
Does not work w/o root
actually, you should add all the dsp table:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12345725&postcount=2798
but, really thanks for teach me hot to put on boot... =oP
Works well!

don't ever compare with stock 2.2 based sound, it is just unfair!! =oP

PowerAmp now supports Dolby and SRS!!!
just an fyi to all those people who use prefer poweramp but use stock player for SRS and Dolby! =D

[Q] Microfon Issues on 4.1 JB

Hello there,
I've used three Roms so far and none seemed to fix my problem...
MY PROBLEM
- People keep telling me I sound like a Roboter and that my microphone level is to high.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED:
- Installed three ROMS, none fixed the issue
- used hd2 mic gain control, didnt fix the issue
- disabled “Audible touch tones”, didnt fix the issue
- during call, enabled the speaker and disabled it, didnt fix the issue
I am really frustraded and help would be appreciated, any suggestions?
Cheers
Chris
ROM: NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Hello
download the file: htcleo.adb
htcleo.adb default.acdb change the name and replace the various softach then it will be quieter mic gain without using hd2 micgain.
It works in any firmware.
Unzip the firmware default.acdb delete the file path is:
system / etc / firmware
Paste in the same place htcleo.adb but renamed to default.acdb.
Firmwawe pack again in the zip and install.
Way by me tested on at least four different softach.
Htcleo.adb file has just been muted the microphone so that the well can be heard by the ear and as a speakerphone.
Use the hd2 micgain it works only if you receive a call and if you call it every time during the connection each time you need to attenuate the volume + / - and then work micgain and as is always the outgoing calls.
I know what I'm writing because I spent the whole week is the time to get to this so I could hear other people well.
I would add that there was a moment that I wanted to throw mijego Leon because of the kind of small detail but well working phone are essential.
I have a htc hd2 EU version of the GSM network and not CDMA CDMA reportedly because you do not have to do this combination.
I do not know why chefs do not normally throw each as modified firmware htcleo.adb htcleo.
Regards
jace699
ps. English with translator
Thank you, but that didn't fix it either.
I found another solution that might serve somebody else...
SOLUTION
For some reason my mic gain was way to high, therefore I had to adjust the gain manually.
You need
- root
- explorer (like file explorer or Root browser lite)
- some sort of text editor, root browser lite has an editor
Open explorer and go to: /etc/init.d/
- make a new file or edit:
10mic_level
- insert the following into that file
echo '0 375' > /proc/mic_level
echo '1 600' > /proc/mic_level
restart your device...
- the first echo (echo '0 ) sets the gain for a normal call to 375
- the seconde one (echo '1 ) sets the gain to 600 when the speaker is turned on
- the gain can be 0-1000 you might have to play a little with the values
Enjoy...

Hi,
Yeah, it seems not much users have CS968 here in XDA but, I'm a member of XDA-Dev and I share what I have here, but you may share this thread on freaktab as yours if you wish.
I have no account on FreakTab and I don't think I may able to manage this thread on multiple forums.
So, I can answer questions only here and also publish updates of my rom.
Thanks for your interest.

1. xposed: i installed xposed framework, rebooted, then installed GravityBox, none of the tweaks in it wkrs. like transparent status bar/traffic meter.
after installing the GB and setting it up, i rebooted, but still not wrking.
2. window support is also not wrking. hv added some of the apps to wkr in window mode, but all run in full screen.
Have you tried these on ur rom ???

Yes,
Multi-window not working, but some features of Gravitybox well.
Actually I've put Multi-window by mistake, it was a bit late when I saw
However you may remove this app by following steps below.
1- Deactivate Multi-window app in Xposed modules menu (uncheck)
2- Reboot
3- Open RootBrowser and go to System/app directory
4- Long press on multi_window.apk and select Delete
I didn't tested all of modules and most of them are not working properly because of Tablet UI, I'll remove both application in next firmware mod.
Sorry for inconvenience, thanks for understanding.
Hi Equancy,
I am having issues with wifi direct. I can establish the wifi direct connection with the other device (Samsung Galaxy S3) just fine, I can send files from the box to the SG3, but I absolutely can't receive files sent from the SG3 to the box (I never even get the prompt).
I also tried to use the Superbeam app, and same story: I can send files out but not receive them.
Any clue? I am not sure whether this is specific to your ROM as I haven't tried with any other.
Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.

hi,
Thanks for your best wishes, hoping same for you.
For the issue,
Possible answer for WiFi Direct function is Firmware related, because I didn't touched any system file except su binary and build.prop.
I also tested by my self, receiving files from TVBox is working but transfering to the device isn't via SuperBeam.
As I said before, I suppose it is a firmware bug and must be reported.
And question is:
To who
However, you may ask other users who is using another firmware versions or custom roms.
Happy new years...
NFS help needed
I tried the rom on my cr11s and i must say its awesome except that its a bit slow.. i also can't get nfs to mount thru adb nor cifsmanager.. does the supplied nfs.ko support nfsv4? Everything else is working with no major issues.. thanks for the rom anyways...

It is very little bit slower than v1.1 but its not really noticable on 2D applications, can you specify what have you experienced actually?
I'm using a NTFS formatted NAS drive with no problem, even watching MKV files about 40-50 mbps rate. (NetGear ReadyNAS).
All of thoose modules have been supplied but not loaded by default need manually installed or you must add lines to the init.rc from system.
This can't be automatically because Kernel needs to be modified and I don't want to do that.
NFS module is actual module for RK3188.
If you more specify problem may be I can look it for you.
And for your consideration...
Some issues are FIRMWARE RELATED, because these firmwares aren't fully optimized, just generic RK3xxx roms.
Not good drivers at all...
And not all manyfacturers optimizes their own firmwares.
Produce and forget policy.

I also tried to get screen mirroring to work with the wifidisplay app included in the ROM (is this also part of the original image or did you add it?).
Again, I can set up the mirroring connection between a Samsung Note 3 and the wifidisplay app, but then actual mirroring never happens. I suspect that whatever causes wifi direct not to work also causes the mirroring not to work... pity as this is would be a nice feature...
@EQUANCY,
I have a strange issue related to sound settings, its because of the stock firmware issue, hope you give some pointers on this
in the sound devices settings, there is input sound device and o/p sound device. I understand abt the output sound device, but what is the use of input sound device ? and is by default always set. Is there a way to disable the i/p device ?.
I ask this bcasue, my sound bar sony will cutoff the sound to other devices if the cs968 device is switched-off, if in on/standby mode, the sound passthorough (via cs968 )for other devices i hv connected to my soundbar. My guess is that since sound input device is checked(Radio button on), sound bar thinks that it has to pass through cs968. If i unplug the hmdi cable from cs968, the soundbar wrks fine.
My guess is that somewhere in the settings xml file, there shd be a way of disabling the sound input device.
I tried decompiling settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk searched all file with sound as filecontent key, but could not find anything related to disabling of sound input device.
can you help me on this ???

I ask this bcasue, my sound bar sony will cutoff the sound to other devices if the cs968 device is switched-off, if in on/standby mode, the sound passthorough (via cs968 )for other devices i hv connected to my soundbar. My guess is that since sound input device is checked(Radio button on), sound bar thinks that it has to pass through cs968. If i unplug the hmdi cable from cs968, the soundbar wrks fine.
My guess is that somewhere in the settings xml file, there shd be a way of disabling the sound input device.
I tried decompiling settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk searched all file with sound as filecontent key, but could not find anything related to disabling of sound input device.
can you help me on this ???

Disabling sound input?
As much as I know, the only sound input is internal microphone.
I real don't know the other sound inputs and als no clue about disabling it.
If you mean sound output such as Analog, Optical and HDMI then may be there is option but for input, I have no idea.
Sorry.
Uninstall Apps
How can I unistall app like bsplayer?
Thanks
Hi,
Open RootBrowser (usually opens in main directory) if not then got to Main Directory first then next to
\System\App
And long press the application which you want to remove and select Delete.
Or download a root uninstaller from market then uninstall what you want.
Hope this helps.

[Guide][nonroot] Fix AndroidQ no UI sound bugs

Since I originally wrote this I have found an even easier way that works 100% without root using Setting database editor so I've updated this guide to the better method.
as a few of us 2XL owners will know Google derped sounds on the factory image of Q and our nice charging sound has been replaced with a horrible Error sound (Google Bug tracker.)
after a few weeks of waiting & trying to fix the issue myself I have finally managed to figure it out...
turns out they're trying to access sounds from the WRONG location
UI sounds on factory Q image seem to trigger from /product/media/audio/ui but this directory only has boot animations, no audio as these files are actually located in /system/media/audio/ui
it's probably why upgrading from 9 to 10 keeps the audio settings but factory flashing doesn't.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22
Install the settings database editor (link above)
Code:
open a terminal app and type(or copy paste) the line below;
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
or using adb:
Code:
adb shell
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
using setedit go to the global tab and look for each of the UI audio settings, switch /product/media/audio*.* to /system/media/audio/*.*
Restart your phone to apply the settings.
car_dock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Dock.ogg
car_undock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Undock.ogg
desk_dock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Dock.ogg
desk_undock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Undock.ogg
lock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg
low_battery_sound /system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg
trusted_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Trusted.ogg
unlock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Unlock.ogg
wireless_charging_started_sound /system/media/audio/ui/ChargingStarted.ogg
Minor notes:
I'm unsure why the charging sound is dictated by wireless_charging setting.
I've had a report that settings revert after a few reboots, I've not had this myself and I've rebooted a lot but if it happens just reapply the changes in setedit.
You can also change the sounds to files on your system, I've not had luck pinpointing my sdcard folder but I have been able to change Lock.ogg to Dock.ogg as a test.
(/Sdcard/download didn't work)
_________( Old method )_________
This is my first write up so please bear with me
please note I'm not responsible for any messups you make doing this
it can be done on a terminal emulator, I prefer ADB shell
in order to sucessfully do this you will need HiddenSettings magisk module
Thank you skittles9823
I'm unsure if you need busybox but the module certainly looks for it
Code:
[B][COLOR="red"]adb shell[/COLOR][/B] or launch your [I]TerminalApp[/I]
taimen:/ $[B][COLOR="red"]su[/COLOR][/B]
taimen:/ [I]#[/I] [B][COLOR="red"]hidden[/COLOR][/B]
4 - All settings
[CHOICE]:[B][COLOR="red"]4[/COLOR][/B]
3 - Modify settings
[CHOICE]:[B][COLOR="red"]3[/COLOR][/B]
===== Modify Settings =====
[Search?]:[B][COLOR="Red"]wireless_charging_started_sound /system/media/audio/ui/ChargingStarted.ogg[/COLOR][/B]
press enter & reboot your phone.
That is pretty much it, hopfully the android team fix this next patch.
I'll add some notes from what I have found through tinkering
you must reboot after modifying EACH setting.
you can see the "=" is not added when changing the settings wireless_charging_started_sound=/system/media/audio/ui/ChargingStarted.ogg (wrong)
wireless_charging_started_sound /system/media/audio/ui/ChargingStarted.ogg (Right)
Here are all the settings i can find
car_dock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Dock.ogg
car_undock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Undock.ogg
desk_dock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Dock.ogg
desk_undock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Undock.ogg
lock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg (this causes an error on my phone)
low_battery_sound /system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg
trusted_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Trusted.ogg
unlock_sound /system/media/audio/ui/Unlock.ogg
wireless_charging_started_sound /system/media/audio/ui/ChargingStarted.ogg
Awesome job figuring this out. Hopefully Google will fix this in the November system images since You've done all the work for them.
Great job and thanks for it, so this works with the charging sound issue but not the locking/unlocking sound?, As for the charging sound i already have a workaround for it as i have gravitybox and edxposed installed and gravitybox have a option to change charging sound, hoepfully google will fix both in upcoming noember update

Thank you SOOO much! :highfive: It works on my Pixel 2. Had to reset it to factory after the December update killed my Pixel launcher app. After the reset I faced this horrible charging sound and the lack of lock sounds, too.
God this was driving me crazy on a warranty replacement Pixel 2. 3rd replacement and finally it boots and the battery is decent.
I don't know if I would have noticed but for having 2 phones side by side. After that, I couldn't un-hear it.
What about Effect_tick.ogg? Is there any way to set this custom sound?
Hi,
I've tried the first method, but I couldn't grant permissions in the Terminal app, it fails!
I don't have root.
Can anyone help?
Thank you so much
All these sounds work on my Pixel 1, but I get the error sound whenever I get a notification while in call. Does anybody know where I can find that sound? It's not in SetEdit.

Keep it
Hi Lohtse,
This device is unique I spend days wake up without sleep to solve the problem of the apps and I realize something important
The problem is bad target system management by Microsoft development tools
Microsoft store is so dumb there is many helpful app but it want appear just by search
Some of the is apps "on papers" not match with your device system version but in reality you can install it and it will work
Now let me tell you it's not totally bad device if you get the exact apps on it, it will be almost like your laptop with many helpful staff
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
Second
here list of apps you might have some of it but with old version:
Before you start just install the official AppInstaller to be able to install apps directly from the phone without alternative tool
Get it from here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1HfsBg8hiqlKBTroK0xvB45h_SiSBha_1/view
Also you need to read this because some of the apps need to modify the target system version before install otherwise it will not installed.

About Dual Boot & Windows 10 ARM
You know.. I broke my phone system more than 5 times one of them it was completely dead but I was able to recover it again,
the point is if you need to try go ahead it's good to see full windows run on a phone and able to run x86 apps as well.
But
Here is few points why it's not very important
Your mobile internal storage will be filled by 70% because of the windows partition
You need a usable phone to call and send messages, it's not comfortable to switch the boot each time
Windows 10 Mobile is almost the same base of the normal Windows it just Microsoft makes it useless but I hope someone will be able to install a service to run windows apps inside it as I discovered in Windows 10 ARM, I was surprised that some of x86 apps works very well.
If you faced any problem during the installation or you need any assist let me know.
Hi
WOW excellent response thank you so much for taking the time to reply as you have..
Could you possible explain this a little further
First

Update
If you got a new phone usually many updates need to be installed, this will fix many problems and increase the performance.
Go to "Settings"
Update & Security
Check for update / Windows Update
if there is any update it will appear or you will see a message "Your device is up to date"
If the system need updates this will take some time, and it might be there is many update not only one so keep try until you get "Your device is up to date"
Unlock
Unlocking the system is based on your needs.
If you are using the phone for regular use you may keep it as it is.
What I was meaning with
Increasing Paging: Paging files will help to handle more applications in the background
SFTP: to transfer the data via wireless but it's totally optional you can still use the cable
Uninstall apps
If you tried to install the new version of i.e."Photos" it will not work because it's already installed.
so the solution is to remove the current app, but by default windows will not allow you to do that form the settings because it's built in.
As solution you can use "Interop Tools" by gus33000
Available Here:
Release Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 (Legacy) · gus33000/InteropTools
This is the latest release of Interop Tools from its Version 1 source with minor updates.
github.com
More details: Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0
Install / Sideload it (Check the guide below)
And go to "General"
Then Select "Applications"
Then Navigate to "Package List"
Search for the app you need to remove it.
You will see many packages related to the same app
In the bottom actions bar there is "4 lines" icon click on it to activate it.
Now select the packages you need to remove.
Click on the trash icon and wait until the app removed
Go to main screen to check if the app removed
If it's remove you can now install the new version
Note: I'm not sure if these steps works without unlocking I didn't tried before unlock, just try before to unlock it might work.
Install apps
Now Download the apps form the links and save them in custom folder.
Go to your device Settings
Select "Update & Security"
Select "For Developers"
Select "Developer Mode"
Activate "Turn on remote diagnostics"
Activate "Authentication"
Using your computer: open the browser and enter the link that appeared in the developer page in your phone
if you got security warning message ignore it and continue (it's normal)
On your phone press "Pair" Button you will see pin code
Enter this pin code in your browser page and click "Submit"
Now you can install the app called "AppInstaller" using the web page
Once you able to install "AppInstaller" you can almost install the other apps from you mobile directly.
Note your device and computer need to be on the same network
OSM Mapping
to be honest I never used it before so I will do some search about it.
If I got anything new will let you know.
I wish most of the descriptions is clear, if you need extra details please let me know.

This version requires downloading the extensions after logging in to insidewindows.net because there is no General - Applications option in the menu by default.
Have you tried the open source Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 made by @gus33000?

Increase the paging file (required unlocked device):
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "System"
Select "CurrentControlSet"
Select "Control"
Select "Session Manager"
Select "Memory Management"
Select "Paging File"
Now In "Registry Value Data" Change The numbers from 256 to 1024
The final value will be "u:\pagefiles.sys 1024 1024"
Click on the "right icon at the bottom" to save the result
To check if the result saved just reopen the "Paging File" again, If the result back to the original "256" maybe your device is not unlocked yet.
Reboot the device to apply the changes.
Change Screen timeout:
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "Software"
Select "Microsoft"
Select "Settings"
Select "Lock"
Select "DisableNever"
Set "Registry Value Data" to 0
Then go to settings and check "Never" will be available now with some extra values.

To be able to edit some of the protected registry values you need to do "Interop Unlock"
"Interop Unlock" will allow you to do almost everything you need.
Don't activate "Full Filesystem Access" In "Unlock" -> "Interop Unlock" it will not work with Lumia 950/XL and it might affect on the usb connection.
If you didn't find a clear guide for "Interop Unlock" let me know I will write a full guide based on my experiment because some of the details online line is very clear.

I have read that the FM radio is not activated on the 950xl, is this correct is so how do I reactivate it?
also is there away to have a bigger tile other than the three choices we have?

The radio is working by default, try this app (almost the best you could find)
Radio FM Phone
Sadly the tiles sizes are fixed as I know, if you want to add some design to the start page you can use this app
Group Tiles
and this app if you want to add custom tiles based on your needs
edgeTile
Check the attached image to see how I did some titles to organize the start page.

Thank you for that... and radio works great... Have to say am loving the 950xl.... only thing I am really missing is a good off route navigation/mapping app if I could find a good one then everything would be nearly perfect.
also is there away to install the original lumia camera app so we can get flash control(number of flashes used ) back?
finally how do I gain full access to the file system on the device???
does any one have the file for this
Lumia Cinemagraph (Official Store)
Cool app you can take photo and make part of it alive with repeated motion, just try it
microsoft.com/en-us/p/lumia-cinemagraph/9wzdncrfhx4d
will not let me download it from store to device as says not compatible with this device

It should work, ignore the compatible message just check the following:
the apps updated including "Microsoft Store" from "Menu" -> "Donwloads and updates"
there is no remaining system updates "Settings" -> "Windows update"
check if there is a "Get" button sometimes it's appear even of there is a compatibility message, click on the button if you found it.
If nothing above worked do the following:
Go to your PC
Be sure you are using the same email/account in both "Phone/PC"
Open the browser and be sure you are logged to your account/email
Open the link of the app
click on "Get"
a message will appear "you own this app"
once you get this message go back to your phone
Open Microsoft store -> Menu
Select "My Library"
Check if the app is there (you can sort the library by name which is better)
Click "Install" behind the app icon
The problem is some of the apps does not appear in Phone store but it will appear in PC store
so this trick will help you to get many apps in the same way,
but I think it will work only with the browser not the desktop app.

As per my experiments, gain the full access to the file system is not a big deal.
the files are protected anyway and some of the important folders assigned to custom users you can't have access, even if you was able to force replace the ownership of the folder and open it.. it will cause some issues with the system.
if you have something really important in the future it's better to use Mass Storage Mode, but accessing the file system while windows is running almost useless.
just don't use the feature in "Interop Tools" which called "Full Filesystem Access" I tried it before and it caused a problem with the connection with the computer I wasn't able to access the storage
